50Burger is Salida’s favorite place to get lunch and dinner in a fresh, casual atmosphere.  Built to be sustainable with a Colorado flair for flavor, 50Burger serves a chef-driven menu all day, seven days a week.  At the heart of our operation is the hamburger.  We all spent a month researching and sampling dozens of various beef blends and different grinds to find the meatiest, juiciest hamburger possible.  It is made with beef brisket, and ground differently from other burgers to have more texture, with an extremely high “juicy factor.”  This is a four-napkin burger with unbelievable flavor.

email: office@thevictoriatavern.com

The Victoria Tavern building was constructed in 1900 by Mildred “ Millie” Ohmertz Johnson. Some consider her as Colorado’s first Female real estate developer. During the first 9 years the Building served the young and booming railroad community as a butcher shop, movie theater, mercantile and hotel, until eventually ending up as a tavern in 1909. For 115 years the “Vic” was a place where not all were welcome, as a brothel, and rough and tumble tavern full of railroad men and miners it developed a lurid reputation keeping the “respectable” folk away. In the 1980s Peter Simonson took over the bar and ran it as a bar and music venue until 2020. Now after being closed for 4 years we are excited to re- open the doors to the community. While paying homage to history, with your help, we intend to create an inviting and welcoming place for everyone. A Social House. A Public House. A Community House. So welcome to The Victoria Tavern and we encourage you to share in the stewardship of this legendary tavern as we cultivate the next century of history here together.
